You might like lit-html, which has a very similar structure as JSX, but does so with standard JavaScript: https://lit-html.polymer-project.org/

React:

    const Welcome = (props) => <h1>Hello, {props.name}</h1>;
    ReactDOM.render(<Welcome name="Taylor" />, document.getElementById('react-welcome'));

lit-html:

    const welcome = (name) => html`<h1>Hello, ${name}</h1>`;
    render(welcome('lit-html'), document.getElementById('lit-welcome'));
